I didn't know the Legendary Yucatones were bundled with the deal. Now that's Priceless.

I would not worry about sending them on a trip to any of the places you mentioned... except for one thing. Seven years old seems REALLY young to send on a trip with a bunch of other kids without their parents. We have four children (mostly grown now).

They would likely be in Merida for the majority of the time and do day trip excursions to some of the other places I named. I appreciate the comments about the overblown nature of the media coverage of crime in Mexico. I saw the piece on 60 minutes and have read several articles about the challenges of dealing with the drug cartel and kidnappings in Mexico and quite frankly, it does have me concerned eventhough I know the media tends to blow things like this out of proportion. Having said that, is there any reason that I should be concerned with letting my sons go on this trip to Merida and the other surrounding areas with their classmates? Would the fact that there would be a bunch of young American kids touring the town make them a more likely target for kidnapping or other crimes? Would you feel comfortable allowing your child to travel to these areas in a large group of American kids?
